Rock en español es la música rock compuesta e interpretada en castellano. A diferencia del rock en inglés, el rock en español ha logrado tener éxito mundial en pocas ocasiones, y muchas veces ni siquiera entre países de habla hispana. Por eso el rock en castellano se ha desarrollado de manera heterogénea en las distintas naciones hispanohablantes; quedando así la música de muchas bandas para uso casi exclusivamente nacional hasta la llegada de la globalización de contenidos multimedia acentuada por la generalización de internet y desarrollada especialmente en el siglo XXI.
Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones (nacido el 14 de septiembre de 1973 en Brooklyn, New York), más conocido como Nas, es un prominente rapero estadounidense. Creció en los infames complejos de viviendas Queensbridge en Long Island. Hijo de Olu Dara, un trompetista de jazz, Nas saltó a la fama en 1994 tras la grabación de su LP debut Illmatic, considerado como uno de los mejores álbumes de hip hop de todos los tiempos. Con este álbum Nas se asentó como uno de los letristas más célebres del género, introduciendo su estilo poético y sus capacidades narradoras.
One…two…yeah…huh…Nasir
[Chorus - Nas]
Baby girl won't you come and hold my hand
Won't you come and chill out with the Virgo
Hey girl, just come and hold my hand
Won't you come and just chill with the Virgo
We sippin' on Merlot
You ain't got be my girl though
I'll drop you off at Woolabee and Merdo
Smash with the Virgo
Ain't got to take your shirt off
But see me convince your homegirl though
[Nas]
Uh, she says some life is too hard
She says that she wanna come build and with the god
Promise me that she gonna play her part
Cuz what I spit gets straight to her heart
And she damn fine, feet hammertime
Damn if I mind
Long as the butt bubble in back of your waistline
I don't waste time, I gotta get-get on it
Just you and me, two glasses….
In the club scene where I met Miss Green Eyes
She walked by asking me "Are you Nas?"
"Why?"
"If you was I'd be totally T.W.I"
"What's that?"
"Totally With It. T.W.I"
"Ha, well here I am"
"Yep, I'm the man"
"Bartender, put a Cosmo in that girl hand"
So here we standin' before I begin
Homegirl made a knot out of the cherry stem
Tongue skills, yea I like that
Now we on the right track
Straight to my Phantom called 'Africa Black'
Ever since then, she been yappin' her track
Told her friends now they hollerin' behind her back
Sing
[Chorus - Nas]
Baby girl won't you come and hold my hand
Won't you come and chill out with the Virgo
Hey girl, just come and hold my hand
Won't you come and just chill with the Virgo
We sippin' on Merlot
You ain't got be my girl though
I'll drop you off at Woolabee and Merdo
Smash with the Virgo
Ain't got to take your shirt off
But see me convince your homegirl though
[Ludacris]
Now I was so fresh and so fly in diamonds
When I stepped up in the club even my eyes was shinin, "bling!"
A little cute thing said, "What's your name?"
I put my necklace in her face and told her "Read the chain"
Ooh, ooh so stuck up
Told me "Shut the fuck up"
Blow! Ludacris is in the hot Luke house
The needle hit the record, they was playin this song
All the ladies hit the floor and it was uh-uh on
Live forever like 'Fame', let the Leroys dance
While I'm laid back chillin in my b-boy stance
Could be a little pop lockin if your girl's tops droppin
But watch for cock blockin all my coochie stock options
But later for that ASDAQ throw 'em on the fast track
Make 'em swip-swap Nasty N.A.S pass that
Honey in the black cuz I'm feelin her curves
She looked down and what I had is that wa-wa word
Why only serve one when you can serve up two
Then at the bachelor's pad doin what the Virgos do
And these women so shy, but get loud undercover
So we can have sex, but I can't be your lover!
Sing
[Chorus - Ludacris]
Baby girl won't you come and hold my hand
Won't you come and just chill with the Virgo
Hey girl, just come and hold my hand
Won't you come and chill out with the Virgo
We sippin' on Merlot
You ain't got be my girl though
I'll drop you off at Peachtree and Merlot
Smash with the Virgo
Ain't got to take your shirt off
But see me convince your homegirl though
